Scope and Content North side of St Bernard's Crescent, Stockbridge, Edinburgh St Bernard's Crescent, an imposing double-crescent, was built c.1824 in grand style as part of a new Georgian housing development initiated by the painter, Sir Henry Raeburn, on his estate on the north side of the Water of Leith. The houses in the centrepiece of the crescent have giant Doric columns rising from the pavement to a massive cornice, above which is an attic floor. The supporting houses have a continuous ground-floor colonnade, and iron balcony at first-floor level. St Bernard's Crescent was named after St Bernard's House, a mansion built by Walter Ross c.1750 on the Deanhaugh estate. The house was bought by the painter, Henry Raeburn, who lived there until his death in 1823. It was demolished in 1826. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
